gust Bohle, is now in the hospital OF the
prison a sufferer from nervous pros
tration and almost a. maniac.

during the night by his dismembered
victim, who had proceeded to reconstruct
himself in the terrified prisoners presence
Of this deluson he could not be disbused.
He firmly believed it was reality. Every
night it came to him, and at the end OF q
week the superstitious convict was deliri.

Regions Of the Atlantic.
AS journeyed from Columbus to
Meridian made the acquaintance of
q pleasant, intelligent countryman of
middle age, who told me that ne lived
near the river and was a farmer and
B. merchant, and had by diligence ac-
cumulated q competency and eltgrate-
full for his success. He had reared his
children to labor and had no draw
back on his happiness. But last
spring he thought he would run over
to Birmingham and look round, and
while there he invested 81 900 in q
rented it out for $25 q month, and
came home. Two Or three months ago
he began to receive letters about
it, and so he went back again in Dec
ember to see what was the matter.
Calling on the gentleman who wrote
him for it, he was asked to price his
property. True to nature, he thought
he would ask a big price, so as to have
margin to come down a peg or two,
and so he mustered up courage enough
to say: "Well. will take $1,000 ior
it, The gentleman made no reply,
but began to write on some papers,
and in q few minutes said: ''Please
sign this deed. Here is a check for
the money."I felt little mean. said he
for getting so much; For had never
in my life made money in that way.
But came nome, and that pile of
money worried me. | did not know
what to do with it. did not sleepso
we'll as before l got it. So about q
week ago l went to Columbus and
handed the money to a good business
friend Of mine and asked him to invest
it for me. He smiled and said: "This
is your Birmingham money!" "Yes,"
said l. "You sold too soon," said he.
II have been there and I bought the
very land you sold, and I gave $780,

"Well you will lose money as sure as
you live"
mo, won't,' said he, "for l sold
it yesterday for $4,000"

ham was crowded, and so I removed

The Chinese Empress's Pasti1sfe.

from the Hong Kong Times
The empress regent of China is one
of the most remarkable women of the
age. Not content with directing the
intricate policy of the most populous
empire in the world with wonderful
cleverness and sagacity, she has now
entered the ranks of competitors for
the lightweight champion of the
celestial empire. Attired in sort OF
bloomer costume. she takes daily
lessons in boxing from the old eunuch.
Her appearance at the age of fifty, in
short skirts, hitting out at her venera-
BILE preceptor and occasionally receiv-
ing herself, must be comical to the last
degree, and the reports on the
matter form the subject of most
disrespectful merriment on the
part of the almond-eyed denizens
of the Chinese metropolis. The En-
press Regent was concubine of the
Emperor Helm Fung, on whose death
she was appointed to act as CO. Regent
with the dowager Empress during the
minority of her son, the late Emperor
Tung Chi. When the latter died, a

those curious intrigues which make
the history of Oriental courts took
place. His young bride, who was
enciente at the time of the young
monarch's death, died mysteriously
before the birth OF her child, and the
old dowager Empress and co-Regent
took her departure for another world
rather suddenly Il few days afterward,
leaving the present Empress in undis-
puted possession of power. With un-
usual ability she has guided the policy
of the Empire through the troublous
times which have resulted from the
opening up Of the country to foreign
trade, and has so conducted affairs as
to have brought the nation to an inf
nitely higher degree of prosperity and
tranquility than it enjoyed when she
took up the reins.

The FashiOnable COstu mes for the
Gay watering Places.

Gay watering Places.
AT a recent gathering of society
people at one Of our popular summer
resorts, says the New York CONNER
cial advertiser, the wife of wealthy
broker from this city was attired in an
imported gown of resedu-gray Irish
poplin, with a waistcoat OF pale rose
pink crepe, and bonnet of gray tulle,
trimmed with silver ospreys and a
high monture of blush roses mingled
with loops of the tulle. A striking
costume worn by the lady's sister was
of Nile-green silk, veiled with Fedora
lace flouncing, with trimmings of
garnet colored velvet. Two young
sisters. with golden hair and wild rose
faces, were arrayed in deliciously
fresh white dresses of East India
muslin, transparent as lace and soft
Ms spun silk. The dresses were
trimmed with vests of apricot tulle,
with vests of crinkled silk of the same
color, and immense sashes at the
back of apricot MORE. They wore
broad, picturesque hats of white
straw, trimmed with apricot-colored
watered ribbon, and garlands of tea
roses and foliage. A very uniuue
gown, worn by tall, slender brunette,
was that of black silk and tulle, with
passementerie and ornaments of straw,
Initiating filigree designs. A gown,
rich yet severe in style, con-
sisted of a princess made slip
of black moire, the bodice portion
fitting like Jersey without the relief
even of row of buttons, these being
covered by plated plastron of plain
black tulle. The skirt fell in straight
folds, and in the back were a few SIM
pie loops to give slightlv-bouffant
effect. En- suite was black tulle
bonnet trimmed with jet aigrettes,
and a black watered-silk parasol with
folds of unhemmed, untrimmed tulle
falling above in a cool, novel fash
ion. There was not a particle of
color visible on the costume. In
brilliant contrast was toilet OF Ro-
man red, striped with black satin
brocade, with red flowers. The
dress was combined with plain red
satin, yelled with superb black lace
fiounces. The bodice of the stripe was
cut in very low Y front and back,
with high waist above Of the same
lace. A lovely dress of broad mauve
and white striped silk, combined with
pale pink and green shot surah, was
very becoming to a young Newport
beauty of the Titan type. A pink and
gold brocade made up with olive vel
vet was an artistic success, and a
young married lady from the
South attracted much attention by
her beauty enhanced by rare gown of
primrose yellow lace over very grace
fully draped skirt and pompadour
bodice of yellow-green faille Franchise.
Yellow roses and leaves, a large fan of
pale green feathers and long yellow
kid gloves completed this beautiful
toilet.
